Cruise has undeniable star power, but Ritchson has totally won me over. And I love the way they make each season a book. Fantastic series. Just one request: Faster!
Ritchson brings a certain stoicism to the role that I couldn't really picture with Cruise. I've only ever read "Tripwire" from the books so that's all I'm basing my opinions on. Really hoping for a second season to drop.
Same here I am a long-time fan of Tom Cruise love his work as an actor and have seen both Reacher films before this series even started. I haven't read the books but I want to but given how well Alan Ritchson played Reacher his acting was done so well that it's literally impossible for me to go back and rewatch the Cruise versions of the character.
@@DavidHeffron78 Just a fact of life. Most of the time for the good of someone, though sadly, not always. Police do it, unions do it, teachers do it, politicians do it, friends do it, etc. etc. I know there's a lot of grey area in there. Still, it's a fact of life.
I like how Reacher completely dwarfs the dest officer when he enters. Then, when he's asking him about army ranks and protection for the woman, the height difference somehow begins to even out, because the policeman has to be the one now helping Reacher. Fun with camera angles to make certain impressions.
Yeh they played with camera angles and got him casted with short people, plus made some of the sets adjusted to make him look bigger. I think Alan Ritchson is about 6' 2" so not quite Reacher height but all the little tricks give him a similar physical presence. I think for example the scene where he is in the prison on the bed, they made the bed smaller so his legs stick out the end to make him look way bigger. It's very key to the stories, Reacher's size is always mentioned, people notice him immediately when he appears in a room etc. I hope in the next season they make him a little more rough, he is usually a bit disheveled entering towns having been on the road for a while and people often call him a vagabond or similar because of his rough and ready appearance.
@@tajj7Yep, and they are also trying really really hard to replicate the books version of him... I think what's taking so long to make them, is because they are in a 3rd person narrative style... Or a 1st person account from Reacher himself... But in a video form, u cant replicate each and every one of Reacher's thought processes and conclusions... Maybe some of them, where he explains them to somebody, but mostly since he works alone, its absolutely difficult to replicate that exact systemic approach, and methodology that he follows... (Maybe they can show some monologue when he murmers in his head, but not all of it, otherwise it would be a disaster) I guess that's what made Sherlock Holmes so popular... Since he always had Dr. Watson with him, the ordinary reader could always appreciate the unique and sharp approach Sherlock took, and follow his line of reasoning, when he would explain everything to him... I think they are trying really hard to come up with support characters who help them do that... But also not to make Reacher boast about everything, and become a social person, since his alienation is what gives him his gritty persona... (That's why this scene isn't in the original book, but they created it, just so the readers could appreciate some of the missed monologue, and appreciate his peculiar personality)
@@benjackson6260unfortunately I think the writers strike has more to do with why it is taking so long. Lost infamously was never the same quality as before the writers strike during its show run. Hopefully Reacher is an exception, they just have to remain faithful to the source material, that is what got them this far.
@@crispybatman480 time matter aside, u do get the narrative part right??? Retelling a story written in a first person account is a challenge... Its like making a movie on a autobiography...

Absolutely true.. my cousin is a former Marine and he can tell you within a few seconds if someone was former military. He never says "ex" though.. like "ex Army" or "ex Marine"... because the only time you are an "ex Marine" is when you are dishonorably discharged... or dead.
@@srhatfield pretty sure they are still Marines even when dead. In my corps, we say "they went forward". No one thinks of them as ex-es. It's a step we'll all take, sooner or later. They took it sooner.
26 episode runs were kind of why TV was crap back in the day. Having to stretch a narrative over 26 runs resulted in A LOT of unnecessary filler. Having the freedom to do 8 - 13 (or a couple more if you need it) produces far more qualitative television, on average.
22-26 episodes worked great for original and classic era star trek, each episode had a start, a middle and an end.. They were basically 22-26 episode mini movies with the odd 2 parters thrown in here and there. But if you look at current era star trek, where they try and do a giant 12 hour film, it's a travesty.. The only story lines that would warrant such massive run times (according to Hollywood) is galaxy and universe ending plots.. If they tried to do something like that for reacher, it would end up being something silly that would require going to 30 countries and stop every terrorist setting off nukes and stealing submarines.. Though, what would be nice, is them not taking years and years to come out with another season.
@@ColinRichardson Nah... monster-of-the-week style stuff (XFiles, Star Trek, Stargate) with only an episode or two per season for the real 'arc' is a different style again. If you want monster of the week Reacher, you're in it for something very different than I was !

Cruise definitely played the military intelligence element like he would scan a room and know what to look for and what to ignore which is a big element of Reacher. But Ritcherson has the look and speaking patters like from the day he turned 18 to just a few weeks prior to the events of the series he was in uniform.

Book one: Killing Floor: THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES-NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO! “From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”-People Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.
Did Reacher ever give Diaz that phone call after it was all over? Reacher on the bus out of Georgia: "Huh, I keep thinking there's something I'm forgetting to do"
Never watched Tom Cruise as Reacher, that was a joke. Now this is Reacher, 100% Reacher. I’ve read every book and love Alan Ritchson as Reacher, he is perfect. And the fact that he is a nice family guy seals the deal.
Love my Reacher novels. Tom Cruise is a great actor but not what I pictured in my mind as Reacher and apparently Lee Child thought the same. When reading the books, I always had the image of a late 80's to mid 90's Dolph Lundgren with an American accent... don't hate me, just what I was picturing!! That being said, I think Alan Ritchson did a FANTASTIC portrayal of Reacher. He played the role perfectly, and I can't wait for the Second Season.
The best Reacher ever. This role was made just for him. Outstanding choice --he definitely has my attention. By the way, this comment is being composed by a woman who has not watched scripted TV in over 20 years.
They really hit the nail on the head casting Richson as Reacher. Looks the part, sounds the part, acts the part. It's like Jack Reacher himself walked out of the books and onto the screen.
I think the most impressive thing Reacher did there was to see how the cop's shoes are tied even though he was standing behind a desc all the time. Superman radar vision delux.
I spent nearly a year in Tbilisi in the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia. At the cashpoints you could either withdraw Georgian Lari or US $50 or $100 bills. I paid my son's nanny and my landlord and landlady in dollars. I never saw a US dollar bill less than $50.
I always laugh a little whenever someone say's scenes like this are unrealistic, the brotherhood of service runs strong. Which is why it's such a big deal when it is broken.
Love this guy, Richson. Exactly what Reacher should look and sound like.
Absolutement ‼️ Cruise is a good actor but he really does not 'fit the bill'
Whoever decided on Cruise was a prat, but hey, they made money ... 🤨
Imagine finding a different talking point
@@joline2730
He originally bought the movie rights. What misbegotten ego. Reacher is NOT a munchkin.

Wrong branch of military dude.
Nothing like watching a Reacher ad play in the middle of a Blue Mountain State episode
The show was so freaking good.
Can we all agree this guy makes a REALLY good teacher 💯 lmao and this show is just funny asf at points 😂😂😂
Soldiers dont say "sir yes sir, that's jar head stuff."
So happy to see him in the flesh. Great casting g!
One of the BEST scenes of all in 1st Season
I would use my holidays to watch 20 seasons of this version of Reacher - if it was 20 seasons. A man can dream😂
I think the most impressive thing Reacher did there was to see how the cop's shoes are tied even though he was standing behind a desc all the time. Superman radar vision delux.
He guided/took reacher to the room where he was supposed to talk as a lawyer … no shit that man took the table with him while showing him the room
This was a good show. Cant wait for Series 2 adventure.
SEASON 2 PLSSSSSS
It's coming soon
If Reacher wasn't sure if Diaz was ex military then at the end when he says "Sir, yes Sir" he surely knew.
Sir, yes sir...all most of us priors need to know.
The good thing about Reacher is you can always trust him even this is the first time you see him. Can’t wait for s3
I spent nearly a year in Tbilisi in the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia. At the cashpoints you could either withdraw Georgian Lari or US $50 or $100 bills. I paid my son's nanny and my landlord and landlady in dollars. I never saw a US dollar bill less than $50.
One of the best show out there now...Ways better than the new lord of the ring show.
Scully has done well for himself...😂😂😂😂
I've already binged this 3 times. I think I'm going to have to watch it again.
Every next season seems to come the next November or December of every freaking show
He should star in another Reacher movie. Also where is season 2 of the great show REACHER!!!!!!!!
The end bit..... that's brotherhood
Thad has really come a long ways.
I can count on you Diaz?
Sir yes sir.
Call me Reacher.
Can’t wait for season 2!
The Officer was great too...
the way he lays it out in the end is .....
U.S. Mint strikes coins, it does NOT print U.S. Currency, that is done by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
3:36
"How are you going to take down whoever is doing this?"
The Thad Castle way. Naked with oreos up our bums.
I always laugh a little whenever someone say's scenes like this are unrealistic, the brotherhood of service runs strong. Which is why it's such a big deal when it is broken.
I'm starving for season 2
Patiently waiting for next season.
Army does not say "Sir yes sir " that's Marines
cant wait for season 2
Love this !! Love him !! Thank You.x
Thank the FED, when you can't get your money from the bank because they killed the C-note.
glad to see thad made something of himself after blue mountain state
Waiting for Season 2 so the description: "Reacher is available to stream now, only on Prime Video," is quite the bummer!
From one comes many. I remember the book. I remember all of them.
Jack Reacher = Doc Savage.
supposedly 6'5 with biceps like 2 basketballs... yup this is the dude to play this.
